I'm currently getting by with a mixture of Design Spark Mechanical, FreeCAD, and OpenSCAD for prototyping/editing files, I'd love to find a good alternative that isn't from a predatory company like Autodesk

I've used OpenSCAD for a fair number of things. The issue I have with it is importing airfoils is... not easy. but it being scripted is nice- the files are small, it runs light, and you can program a lot of if-thens to abort compiling if the parameters go too far out of whack.

I want to learn freecad again now that they're adding simulation to it.
